Every city has a handful of properties that feel larger than real estate. Places that carry history. Places that help define a neighborhood. Places that seem impossible to recreate.
The Historic Juniper Hill Estate is one of those places.
Situated at the entrance to Reno's iconic Juniper Hill neighborhood, this remarkable legacy property encompasses nearly seven acres of irrigated pasture, mature trees, historic structures, and extraordinary privacy—all just minutes from downtown Reno. The estate includes two residences totaling more than 4,300 square feet, a historic barn, and approximately 15 acre-feet of irrigation water rights, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy an authentic ranch lifestyle within Reno city limits.
For more than seventy years, the Meredith family has thoughtfully cared for and preserved this special place, stewarding the property across four generations. Today, a new owner has the opportunity to honor that legacy while shaping its next chapter.
Large acreage properties inside Reno city limits have become increasingly rare. Yet upon entering the estate, the city seems to disappear.
Open meadows stretch toward mature trees and historic fencing. Irrigated pasture creates a landscape more reminiscent of a Northern Nevada ranch than a property located minutes from Midtown, downtown Reno, and the Truckee River corridor.
This unique balance of privacy and accessibility is what has long made Juniper Hill one of Reno's most coveted neighborhoods.
While luxury homes can be built, certain attributes cannot be replicated.
Land is one of them.
Water is another.
The estate includes approximately 15 acre-feet of irrigation water rights that support the property's expansive meadow and agricultural character. Combined with nearly seven acres of usable land, the result is a property that offers possibilities seldom available within an established urban neighborhood. Whether envisioned as an equestrian property, family compound, private estate, or long-term land holding, the foundation already exists.
Unlike many large acreage offerings, Juniper Hill is not simply vacant land. Two existing residences, a historic timber barn, and established infrastructure provide immediate functionality while preserving flexibility for future generations.
The primary residence encompasses approximately 2,725 square feet with two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, while the original 1950 ranch home offers approximately 1,611 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths. Rich with character and history, the home creates opportunities for guest accommodations, extended family living, caretaker quarters, or future creative uses.
Anchoring the estate is a classic historic barn that serves as both a functional structure and a visual reminder of the property's agricultural heritage. Together, the two homes, barn, irrigated pasture, and water rights create a true compound environment that would be exceptionally difficult to assemble today.
The Meredith family's connection to this property spans four generations.
As they shared:
"For over 70 years and across four generations, our family has had the privilege of calling this special place home. Our mother, Rose Meredith, worked tirelessly as a public school teacher to preserve and care for the property so future generations could continue making memories here."
That stewardship remains visible throughout the estate today.
The land retains an authenticity and sense of permanence that cannot be manufactured through new development.

Properties like Juniper Hill are increasingly difficult to find.
Two residences, a historic barn, irrigated pasture, substantial water rights, and nearly seven acres inside Reno city limits create an opportunity that is as flexible as it is rare.
Some buyers may choose to preserve the property exactly as it exists today.
Others may envision a multi-generational compound designed for future generations.
Regardless of the vision, the underlying qualities that make this estate special—its land, water, privacy, and history—remain irreplaceable.
